Naveen Maria Fleming

No proper water drinking facilities in every floors , rooms for the presentation are not so good .when i went to attend for the workshop there were no proper materials provided for making the model. Also they were not punctual in starting or ending the workshop ( the timings that they mentioned didn't match) .But i am not sure about the education how they provide.
